Typing
Fingers on keys.
Tap. Tap. Pause. Delete.
There’s a lot happening under.
Thoughts racing ahead of hands.
Feelings trying to find the right words.
Mistakes made and erased like they never existed.
Typing gives us courage.
You can say things you’d never say out loud.
You can soften your tone.
Or sharpen it.
You can rewrite yourself before anyone sees.
Sometimes you type fast,
afraid the thought might escape if you slow down.
Other times, you hover over the keyboard,
stuck between saying too much and saying nothing at all.
A message can be sent in seconds
and misunderstood for days.
A single typo can change everything.
A single sentence can start something
you didn’t plan for.
So when your fingers move across the keys,
are you just typing,
or are you choosing carefully
what version of yourself you’re putting into the world?
